"maro" = Camaro

Lot's of acronyms and short speak on here. Good luck with the swap.

Actually, there is ONE difference you'll need to check on. The '98s have a cable-style throttle. '99-up has an electronic throttle. I'm not sure how that's going to work together, so you'll have to account for that.
